Eudora 8.0b9 Email Client Released

6383 Mozilla's Penelope Project has released the latest public beta of their Thunderbird-clone Eudora 8 Open Source email client. Eudora 8.0b9 is based on the Thunderbird 3.0.1 source code, so add-ons that do not work with Thunderbird 3.0.1 likely will not work with this beta version.

Whereas "Eudora" is a branded version of Thunderbird with some extra features added by the Eudora developers, "Penelope" is an extension (also called an "add-on") that is used in Eudora and can also be used with Thunderbird. The Eudora installer includes the corresponding version of Penelope along with it so there is no need to install Penelope if you are installing Eudora. Most features in Penelope can be accessed when used with Thunderbird, but there are a few that require Eudora in order to work correctly and it's not something that gets tested.

New in this version
• Includes Penelope version 1.0b1
